To install an Activity:
Subpages link to individual Activity pages that are used to create [[Activity groups]], such as [[Activities/Brazil]], which are then used to specify a set of activities for OLPC or deployment builds. These pages are edited by developers responsible for preparing the builds. The page URLs are added to [[OSBuilder]] configuration files, and so any changes may require an update to a git repository or builder configuration.
